Snowpack Discussion

Reports from Mammoth Mountain Ski Patrol last night indicate that the recent storm came in with a grapuel layer which is bonding poorly to the old snow interface. Crowns in the 12" + range have been witnessed by patrollers in the ski area, and they want those travelling into the backcountry to be aware and cautious. Even though there isn't a ton of snow out there, there is still the potentiall to trigger and be caught in an avalanche.

ESAC is still ramping up for the 2015-2016 Season, with the hope of issuing regular Snowpack Summaries on our website beginning 12/1. Until then, please be safe out there, and mark your calendars for our Season Kickoff Event scheduled for 12/5 (details coming soon).
